An Understanding of Acne
by Matt McMillan
Most people who suffer from acne related problems as teenagers, have over-active oil glands because of hormone levels. The silver lining of this is your active oil glands. These help with skins elasticity, and long after your friends who you envy now are wrinkled and old, you will still be looking fresh and younger. One more advantage of having acne is the great care you are currently taking now with the affected areas. This goes a long way for your skin looking great years down the road.
Many say that it is an advanage to suffer from the problems of acne when you are a teenager, then have clear skin as a teenager and skin dryness later on in life. Now this is what causes wrinkles when you grow older, oil glands that just dont produce what your skin needs. Few people will remember what you looked like when your a teenager, so look on the bright side!
Acne treatements do not need all those costly and expensice treatments. With simple everyday items and a strict cleaning routine you can have spotless, healthy beautiful skin. If you have ance, remember, you have the best type of skin. Oily skin which can be problematic in the earlier stages of life, has all the support of maintaining skins shine and glow later on in life.
Acne can be seperated into two catagories. There is facial acne which can be bluntly put as just a bad skin condition. The second is when it spreads badly, and caused by a hormonal disturbance. (Usually associated with teenagers) This is when acne becomes more of a disease then a condition.
Acne is usually on the chest, face, upper back and shoulders. All these associated parts are where oil glands are more active and the skin has many more pores. Pores are holes where body hair comes through a very narrow opening in the upper layer of
the skin. Oil glands situated around these pores secret an oily substance called sebum. Acne forms when this opening gets clogged with excessive amounts of sebum (caused by hormonal imbalance), or with dirt and grime collected on the outside of our skin. Then bacteria on the contaminated dirt can attack the pore opening to get inside, and the body will send white blood cells to fight them off. In the fight of white blood cells and bacteria, skin can become swollen which causes pain and redness. This causes further infection, which causes pimples (commonly called zits) to form in the affected area.
